Objective
The Adult Program is one of the six core programs authorized by Title I of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA). The program serves individuals and helps employers meet their workforce needs. It enables workers to obtain good jobs by providing them with job search assistance and training opportunities. WIOA establishes a priority requirement with respect to funds allocated to a local area for adult employment and training activities. American Job Center staff, when using WIOA Adult funds to provide individualized career services and training services, must give priority to recipients of public assistance, other low-income individuals, and individuals who are basic skills deficient. Performance program measures include: 1. Employed 2nd Quarter After Exit Quarter; 2. Employed 4th Quarter After Exit Quarter; 3. Median Earnings Second Quarter After Exit; 4. Credential Attainment Rate; 5. Measurable Skills Gains; and Effectiveness in Serving Employers. The employment goals are measured by using the Unemployment Insurance Wage Records Information System whenever possible.
Type of Assistance
A - Formula Grants
Applicant Eligibility
Under WIOA, the entities eligible to receive funding from the Department are the 50 States, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia and the outlying areas. Funds are allotted based on a statutory formula. The states in turn allocate funds to local workforce development boards which are responsible for operating American Job Centers (approximately 2,400 nationwide).
Beneficiary Eligibility
All adults 18 years of age and older are eligible to receive career services. Several populations receive priority, with States and local areas being responsible for establishing procedures for applying the priority requirements. Priority of service is given to veterans and other covered persons. Priority for career and training services must be given to public assistance recipients, other low income populations, and low-skilled individuals.
